Where is a good hospital to go in Seoul to get the medical check done? I went to one in Gangnam and they actually had no clue what needed to be done. I am looking for one that is not too expensive and knows exactly what to do.

Asan Hospital's Int Clinic out near Jamshil knows how to to do it, it'll cost you around 100k though they tend to be expensive

Also Soonchunhyang Univ Hospital near Itaewon does it, call their int clinic

I got mine done at Hongik Hospital in Mokdong (not the university). It is not a well known hospital -- but they were great. They have a whole building dedicated to medical checks. You start on the fifth floor and work your way down. Fifth floor is weight, blood pressure etc fourth floor is x-rays...
I well recommend it.
PM if you want more details.

This one has tons of foreigners come through so they know the process really well. If you live in Gangnam, it's not too far. Just a hop-skip over the river.

As far as price goes, they are all roughly 100k. There isn't a 'cheap' place to get it done.

The foreigner clinic at the SNU hospital near Hyehwa is good, I had mine there a while back.

Yes, they are all around 100K.
They charge you up the ass because they know that it is mandatory.
